Publix Shopping Trip July 17

I did my shopping early this morning and was able to cross one task off of my list for this weekend. Overall I had a good shopping trip except for the fact that my store (Kennerly Rd.) refused the Food Lion $2/$5 produce coupon.

The clerk explained that their was a memo in the break room stating that they could not longer accept FLIPS for Food Lion house brand. I explained that the coupon was not for Food Lion house brand. I asked if I could see the memo. He went to the back office and when he emerged a few moments later, he produced not the memo that he stated was hanging in the break room but, a different letter (hand written I might add with a sharpie). The letter stated that Publix would only accept (1) FLIP per person per item.

OK…I know that already. It’s printed right there on the bottom of the coupon. I had him void my produce purchases. Otherwise here is what I bought this week.

-used (3) $2/1 Listerine 04-26-09 RP
(makes it FREE + $0.63 overage)
(**looking over my receipt I see that the cashier did not scan (1) of my $2 off Publix coupons. The same cashier left off (1) off my $2 coupons last week. I will need to get a $2 credit)

(**looking at my receipt I see that the Hazelnut was not included and I was charged $3.89 ea. I will get a price adjustment or refund since I specifically asked were the Hazelnut included before purchasing them)

Total before Savings $104.30Total Saved $77.09 or 74%Total OOP$27.21Future Credits $5.40 for Coffee Mate & $2 for missing Q= $7.40To see the full list of this weeks dealsclick here.

Please be careful with the Listerine deal. I think the Publix coupon is for 1 L size, and the $3.79 Listerine might only be the 500 mL. I tried to work out this deal, but found a problem with the sizes, so I didn't do it.
